Ferrari SP-8 - The Roadster derived from the F8 Spider is the latest One-Off from Maranello

Ferrari unveiled today the latest addition to its One-Off series, the Ferrari SP-8. Part of the brand's Special Projects program and designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre led by Flavio Manzoni, it is a mid-rear-engine V8 based on the F8 Spider from which it inherits the layout, chassis, and engine. The SP-8 one-off joins the sacred ranks of the most exclusive segment of the Ferrari range, unique cars designed to the specifications of individual customers, allowing them to embody the pinnacle of Cavallino Rampante customization. The car's name pays tribute to its 3.9-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, one of the most critically acclaimed powertrains and a four-time winner of the prestigious "Engine of the Year" award. As the customer who ordered the SP-8 is from Taiwan, the number 8 is also significant as it is considered extremely lucky in Chinese culture, traditionally synonymous with success, good fortune, and personal accomplishment. The most unique feature of the SP-8 is that it has no roof, making it a two-seater roadster in every respect, emphasizing its sporty character and the instantly exhilarating visual and driving experience in the open air. This solution required a thorough refinement of its aerodynamics through a combination of CFD simulations, wind tunnel tests, and track tests to ensure acoustic comfort and a wind sensation comparable to that of the car that inspired it.
